Adventures in online datine

I am in the process of getting divorced and have been exploring the world of Match.com. This is the third time I have posted a profile and I have only actually gone on one date. The man I met was very nice, although between our schedules and children, I am not sure if I will see him again!
In the beginning I responded to every email that I got . . . clearly not a good idea because once the dialog gets going, it tends to keep going. I don't want to spend all my time writing emails to people I probably won't ever meet. So, lesson number 1 is - don't respond unless you really want to know more about whoever emailed you.

GREAT title!!

I've always wondered about Match.com - and it's reliability. Same with eHarmony, etc. I've wanted to experiment with Robert to see if they would match us - but we never do. We laugh about it. But never do it.

And we are as-close-as-possible to being perfectly matched. Poor, poor husband. :-)

Of course Match would hook you guys up! The big problem with an experiment like the one you are suggesting is that you have to PAY to get anywhere on match. Then, you have to remember to cancel, or you have to pay again.
